The company has identified two priority targets for an upcoming auger sampling program to refine exploration targets. Reasoning: The program successfully identified gold presence via panning and established two priority targets for follow-up, though it lacks formal assay grades. - Positive factor: high positive sample rate - Positive factor: identification of priority targets - Positive factor: presence of visible gold grains - Negative factor: reconnaissance scale only - Negative factor: no assay grades reported Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release identifies Dr. Dennis LaPoint, P.Geo., as a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by Dr. Dennis LaPoint, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: the document describes a mill\_cil route \("CIP"\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Source: document #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp. Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-09-10T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: 85.4% positive sample rate for visible gold is a strong indicator for a reconnaissance program. - Positive factor: high hit rate - Negative factor: panning results are qualitative Evidence · text > Visible gold was identified in 41 samples, representing an 85.4% positive sample rate. #### Tags used in scoring **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ### Fact 2 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/centurion-completes-limestone-gold-panning-and-scouting-program-initiates-auger--c2e645dc-05c7-4994-9c86-4b6e5ee8f3d4#fact-drill-facts-1) gold #### Identity - Commodity: gold - Ticker: CTN #### Classification - Sample Type: surface #### Location - Location: Limestone Gold Project - Loc. Source: document #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp. Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-09-10T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Total grain count provides a measure of gold frequency during panning. - Positive factor: presence of multiple grains Evidence · text > Across all samples, 157 visible gold grains were recorded #### Tags used in scoring **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## How Atlas produces this analysis Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
